Holes in the Wall

by IdTakeABulletForYou   Oct 26, 2018


Anger in its rawest state:
destruction when I am irate.
I can't control what I will do,
I'll punch the wall.
I'll punch you, too.

I isolate within this room,
a holed-up place where anger blooms.
My boiling blood begins to bubble
and in that moment: I am trouble.

Darkness and regrets soon follow;
I sit down, my hopes so hollow.
I'm alone right now, it's true,
but what of anger sparked by you?

It's best to quarantine myself
so Anger hurts nobody else.
I turn into this different soul
aware of rage I can't control.

There is no love waiting for me
(a monster hidden you can't see)
for I don't know what I'll produce
inside a state that's rage-induced.

    Great job putting into words that state of being that is far too common among many, myself included, yet unique in its own right to each individual!! Continue to fight the rage and stand fast man!! Well written indeed !!!

    This work really catches the true nature of anger and rage. I absolutely understand the desire if not need to lash out even if it's at something inanimate. The release is brief and the damage can be extensive and will often leave one regretting their action.

    A fantastically well rhymed piece that is most worthy of my vote.

    Well done.

    Stephen good to see you back and writing so honestly as always... This is a powerful and well written piece which I guess we can all related to in someway because when we are angry we all do things we come to regret in the future or atleast those of us who have a conscience anyways wish I had a nomination left because I'd have been sure to have nominated this. The penultimate stanza was my favourite especially as I've been in that self quarantine myself before now.
    Take care
